5 Reasons Why You Should Embrace Video Conferencing


Is your company still relying on audio conferencing as a primary tool for communication? How about email to arrange a quick sit-down meeting? If you answered yes to either or both of these questions -- read on!


We've put together a list of key reasons why video conferencing ranks superior to audio conferencing, and can often be more effective than face-to-face interactions.


  1. VIDEO CONFERENCING IS MORE ENGAGING THAN AUDIO CONFERENCING. With video conferencing, a sense of distance is removed because participants can see and be seen. It minimizes the risk of "zoning out" or multi-tasking because video conferencing offers a virtual eye contact, promoting a sense of closeness and engagement.
  2. VIDEO CONFERENCING IS AS GOOD AS BEING THERE. The big difference you will experience when video conferencing is efficiency! When video conferencing, you save time and effort so you can be more productive throughout the day. No more packing up of files to head down the hall, out the building, or to your car to make it to your meeting location. Traveling to and from meetings is often more time consuming than the meeting itself!
  3. VIDEO CONFERENCING PROMOTES LEARNING AND ENGAGEMENT. Humans process visual information faster and more capably than text or audio, giving merit to the Chinese proverb 'I hear and I forget; I see and I remember.'
  4. VIDEO CONFERENCING KEEPS DISPERSED TEAMS CONNECTED. Right after face-to-face interaction, video conferencing is the next best thing, especially for colleagues in satellite offices. It's the closest thing to working in person and helps to keep employees from operating in silos.
  5. VIDEO CONFERENCING GETS THE JOB DONE! In addition to the time-saving benefits, video conferencing allows you to keep in close contact with clients and customers to further build relationships. You'll increase communication, build trust, and create stronger relationships.
